Charles Moffett

Charles Moffett is a New York-based contemporary gallery showcasing works by both established and emerging artists. With this new site, Charles Moffett wanted to elevate their digital presence with a bold, elegant new site. Utilising a strong use of bold serif fonts and subtle animations, a beautiful new site was born.”

Clear CTAs

One of Charles Moffett's main goals was to encourage engagement, and to drive users towards getting in touch with them. This simple, clean and bold contact form serves that purpose well here on the homepage.

Simple Interactivity

Most galleries have a longer list of artists they wish to showcase, but Charles Moffett being a relative newcomer to the art world means we can shift focus away from artist names to their beautiful imagery.

Artist Page

Centered headings

Mimicking the homepage hero, the artist name is proudly showed in the center of the image. The thinner weight of the font allowing for a large size without becoming too bulky.
